Less than two weeks in and BMOG is now 53% funded. While we put the finishing touches on Featherblight for first the stretch goal, we have some news!

Action figure artist Rob “Cheets” Roberts has generously donated his time to the project to let ten backers have a custom, hand-painted one-of-a-kind Ursenal & Mantax. If you’re not familiar with his work, you can check out his gallery of customs here. There is a new tier for this reward, letting you get all of the Artmaster benefits as well as the custom painted set.

We have also lowered the costs on the “choose a future colorway release for Ursenal/Mantax” and the “co-design a BMOG figure” tiers. Each of these is a one-of-a-kind reward, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

We still need your help keeping momentum going. Spread the word and lets make BMOG a reality!

Meet Featherblight, the second figure in the standard BMOG figure size, currently shared with Ursenal. Featherblight will be part of the first stretch goal in the Kickstarter and his design is currently being fully realized in CAD.

The following is our continually updated list of 5mm compatible toy lines, making them compatible with BMOG. This list is by no means complete. If you know a toy line that should be added, please let us know by responding to this post, or on twitter.

Not every toy from each line is guaranteed to be compatible, but this shows what kind of variety you can expect from BMOG in terms of interaction with other lines. Also take note that toys with articulated grips can make use of the accessories as well!

BMOG TOYLINE ROARS ONTO KICKSTARTER!Remember the robot toys of the 1980s? World-spanning battles of good and evil across the living room floor? Shape-changing and modular warriors of all shapes and sizes? So do we, and those memories inspired BMOG, a building toy system that lets you make wild, robotic characters where each and every component is also an action-figure accessory.

Each BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalt) kit comes on-sprue to build and customize how you see fit, forming a robot warrior. Every component uses the “Fusion Factor” 5mm peg-and-post system, enabling you to mix-and match pieces to create your own monstrous mechanical marvels.

On top of that, every piece is also a stand-alone accessory that -thanks to the 5mm peg system- is compatible with literally thousands of other toys across dozens of lines, past, present and future. Augment your space-robot tyrant with an arsenal of blasters that combine to serve as a savage pet, or outfit your techno-barbarian hordes with vicious blade-weapons that combine into robotic birds of prey.

BMOG is ready to produce its first two toys, URSENAL of the heroic AUGMENTOIDS (a robot bear that separates into four guns, a warhammer, battle-blade, scanner and bear-head crusher-claw) and MANTAX from the evil PARAXXOIDS (a manta ray that splits into a huge double-bladed axe-pick and a double-barreled hand-blaster). The manufacturer is ready, and several online outlets have expressed interest in stocking the line. All we need is the funding, and this is where you come in.

ALEX ANDROSKI is the project’s technical engineer. Formerly with Hasbro, he worked directly on toys for both Transformers Universe and Revenge of the Fallen.

GREG SEPELAK is the project’s lead promotional artist and co-writer. He has worked on numerous Transformers and G.I. Joe projects for Fun Publications and Hasbro and is a regular artist for multiple thatguywiththeglasses.com producers.
